Remember Mindfulness – relax your whole body gradually

Resentments

Holding on to our resentments is a familiar trait of
many addicted people. It is a burden that we do not
need to carry. Yet, we are so used to negativity that
we prefer to play the victim, blame others and stay in
our state of self-pity and anger, rather than do
something about it. Resentments can make us feel
superior, even powerful but in reality, we give power
to the person we resent – power to spoil our peace of
mind. It will eventually isolate us from family, and
friends. Am I aware of the dangers of holding on to
resentments?

Resentment is the Number One offender. It
destroys more alcoholics than anything
else. From it stem all forms of spiritual disease.
AA Big Book.
Whatever the facts of the case, it is my response that
matters. When I forgive somebody for a perceived
harm, I help myself to get better. It is self-care and a
sign of maturity. To say a prayer for the person
whom I resent can be helpful. I will do so. I ask God
today to guide me in dealing with resentments and
forgiving those who may have harmed me.
